The role of ultrasonography in examination of the stability of Tile-B2 pelvic fractures: 7 case reports and a literature review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Determining whether a Tile-B2 pelvic fracture is stable is very challenging. We sought to identify the role of ultrasonography in determining the stability of Tile-B2 pelvic fractures.

Methods

We collected the clinical data of patients with Tile-B2 pelvic fractures who presented at Xi'an Hong-Hui Hospital between June 1, 2016, and August 5, 2016. The treatment strategy of each patient was determined by a team of senior surgeons in the department. A single sinologist observed the movement of the fracture sites in patients during rest, under compression, and during separation to determine fracture stability. According to the pelvic fracture stability assessment, an appropriate treatment strategy was redetermined. Overall, 7 patients, including 5 women and 2 men, wit
